sold I'm in Virginia teaching a two day workshop in an old renovated general store. Everything is going along swimmingly. I love the open fields, stone walls, dirt roads and the one lane bridges built during the Civil War (still operational). Fox hunts are popular here and I swear I saw a unicorn walk by the the sun porch yesterday morning. Better photo of yesterday's painting to follow.

I'm still kayaking! I'm reduced to the shallow end of the bay, a kayak is hardly necessary as I'm mostly only knee deep the majority of the time - it's warmer that way. In other news; the unthinkable happened, I met Henry David Thoreau today, right in my neighborhood. Brie the dog met him too, but the encounter was lost on her.

About Me

I mark each day with a painting. After 3000 days (including Christmas) I've no intention of stopping.
Painting, for me, is a physical act of being able to leave proof that I was there.
Having cancer as a young adult, I discovered living is not just surviving. I wanted a way to embrace each day, no matter how typical, so without excuse or hesitation, I begin each day by painting.
The small, intimate paintings of ordinary, everyday subjects reflect an optimism that outlasts the fleeting light and fragile objects. I incorporate strong and exaggerated light sources, allowing the light to fill the empty spaces where something else could be. The paintings create a structural framework of self-preservation.
Each of these daily exercises is a vital component of the project’s ongoing, infinite progression.
